2-4 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Fill a wash pan of a proper size with a non-flammable clean-
ing solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning
solvent and wash it.
Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both
hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the
element, or it will tear.
Immerse the element in motor oil, and then squeeze out the
excess oil leaving the element slightly wet.
"
* Inspect the air cleaner element for tears. A torn ele-
ment must be replaced.
* If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air
cleaner element more frequently. The surest way to
accelerate engine wear is to operate the engine with-
out the element or with torn element. Make sure that
the air cleaner element is in good condition at all
times. Life of the engine depends largely on this
component!
Remove the drain cap 7 of the air cleaner box to allow any
water to drain out.
